Coward's jumper upsets Jayhawks
By ROB KNAPP
staff writer
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Derrick Chievous hurt the Kansas Jayhawks in the first 20 minutes of last night's game, but Lee Coward killed them in the last 60 seconds.
Men's Basketball
Chievous scored 20 points in the first half and Coward hit a three-point shot with three seconds left in the game, giving the Missouri Tigers a 63-60 victory over Kansas at Hearnes Center.
Coward's basket on the right side was the climax of a frantic final minute in which both teams had a chance to break a 60-all tie.
Missouri is 6-3 in the conference and 16-9 overall.
Kansas' record fell to 7-2 in the Big Eight Conference and 18-6 overall. The Jayhawks remain tied for the conference lead with the Oklahoma Sooners, who lost to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, 75-74.
Kansas, which trailed by as many as nine points in the second half, pulled even when Danny Manning hit two free throws with 1:37 left. Missouri then turned the ball over when a pass from Coward bounced off the fingertips of Greg Church.
“When they threw it away, I felt for sure we had the game,” guard Mark Turegon said. Turgeon started the game in front of his team, who was sidelined with a sprained ankle.
But the Jayhawks responded with a turnover of their own. Manning tried to escape from two defenders just across the halfcourt line by dribbling the ball and Church dove it back to ball and Church dove it back to Coward after it rolled out of bounds.
After Chris Piper tipped a Missouri pass out of bounds, the Tigers inbounded the ball and got it under
the basket to Mike Sandbothe with 12 seconds left. Keith Harris rouled Sandbothe, who fell to the floor holding his left knee.
Sandbothe, a 53.8 percent free-throw shooter this season, had to leave the game. Devon Rolf, a 73.3 percent foul shooter, came in for Sandbothe and went to the line to shoot a one-and-one.
Rolfs' shot bounced off the back of the rim, and Church got the offensive rebound for Missouri. Church passed to Lynn Hardy, who found Coward open for the game-winning shot.
"We can't expect to make mistakes like that in the last seconds and win," Kansas coach Larry Brown said.
Manning got the Jayhawks off to a fast start by scoring the game's first six points. Kansas ran to an early 15-2 lead as Chievous hit only one of his first five shots.
But Manning got a second foul with 13:43 left in the half and went to the bench. He did not return in the first half.
"I thought I was going to go back in,
"Mamming said. "But coach kept
Brown said he wanted Manning in the game but thought he should save him for the second half.
"The game was over in the first five minutes if they let Manning play." Brown said.
Missouri made up six points of the deficit just after the 10-minute mark. Hardy stole the ball and passed under the basket to Chievous, who scored and was fouled by Shawn Alvarado.
Brown argued the call and was assessed a technical foul. Chievous made the bonus shot and both technician pitches to Kansas lead to six points, 22-16.

Abuse follows Turgeon to MU
By NICOLE SAUZEK
Associate sports editor
COLUMBIA, Mo. — In Allen Field House, Mark Turgeon is a crowd favorite.
"It has been this way for years," Turgeon said. "I don't let it bother me."
The 5-foot-10 Topeka senior plays an important role for the Jayhawks from the bench, and KU fans respond to his performances with aplause.
But on the road, Turgeon is a crowd favorite of a different sort. He is the opposing fans' favorite player to harass.
In a sea of black and gold and bandages, a group of Missouri students dedicated their time and voices
to Turgeon.
The group's jeers were incessant.
Every time the KU guard touched the ball, the crowd automatically let out a long, monotone "heeeey." When Turgeon had the ball, a loud, slow "Tur-geon," "Tur-geon" filled the arena.
This year, several crowds have tried the same tactics on Turgeon.
"the only reason we started laughing was because he started to make a few mistakes," said Steve Wasserman, a University of Missouri senior from Omaha, Neb. "We just wanted to get on his nerves."
At Oklahoma earlier in the season, he encountered boos and the sound of kazzoos from a rowdy Sooner crowd
whenever he touched the ball
The last week at Kansas State, the crew called bellows a weasel when he encountered them.
Turgeon said that luckily for him, he didn't let the hazing bother him.
"It's just part of the game," he said.
The other part of the game is performance. Last night, Turgore filled the shoes of injured Cedric Hunter. Hunter sprained his ankle inahoma State game Saturday, and not played with the Javhykws since

Danny Manning, here in action against Nebraska, led the Jayhawks with 21 points in their loss to Missouri. The Tigers upset KU last night in Columbia, 63-60.
Waters' last-second jumper beats Tigers
With 3 seconds left in overtime and a game tied 79-79, KU forward Shawna Waters hit a baseline jumper that gave Kansas its second upset victory of the season over the Missouri Tigers last night in Hearnes Center
The 81-79 victory gives Kansas a 5-5 Big Eight Conference record and a 4-3 conference tour was tied for the conference lead after 6-4 in the conference and 16-7 overall.

"This is a great win for us." KU coach Marian Washington said after the game. "Missouri is a great ball club and you can't let down when you are playing them."
In the second half, there were some critical calls against Kansas that

allowed Missouri to gain momentum. Washington said.
The score was tied at 70-70 with 31 seconds left when Waters made one of two free throws, giving Kansas a one-point lead.
Kansas went up by two when KU guard Evette Otto also took one of two fights.
But Missouri forward Renee Kelly,

the No. 4 scorer in the country,

Cowboys surprise Sooners
From Kansan wires
STILLWATER, Okla. — Royee Jeffries hit a layup with seven seconds remaining, and Todd Christian added two free throws with one second left last night, which lifted Oklahoma State to a 75-74 upset of No. 8 Oklahoma.
The Sooners, 19-4 overall and 7-2 in the Big Eight, had its 10-game winning streak snapped, while OSU improved its record to 7-15 and 3-6.
With the score tied 71-71, Darryl Kennedy, who led Oklahoma with 21 points, missed an 18-foot jumper, and Jeffries scored which gave the Cowboys a 73-71 lead.
Christian was fouled and hit both free throws, which gave him a game high 22 points, and the Cowboys a secure 75-71 margin. Oklahoma's Dave Sieger hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.
Oklahoma's David Johnson threw the ensuing inbounds pass over the head of Ricky Grace, and Grace fouled Jay Davis. After Davis missed both free throws, Johnson again overthrew an inbounds pass into the hands of coach Billy Tubbs at the Oklahoma bench.
Nebraska 66
Iowa State 65
Iowa State had the ball with 12 seconds remaining, but the Cyclones failed to get off a shot. Vick kept the ball out of Grayer's hands, and the other Cyclone players made no moves to the basket.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Derrick Vick scored 14 points and shut down Iowa State's Jeff Grayer in the final seconds of the game as Nebraska nipped the Cyclones 66-65 last night.
Nebraska jumped out to a 12-point lead at 44-32 in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Iowa State came back to take a one-point lead at 51-50 with 8:58 remaining.
Grayer led the Cyclones with 19 points, Tom Schafer had 17, and Elmer Robinson had 14. Bill Jackman had 13 for Nebraska. Nebraska is now 14-8 overall and 4-5 in the conference. Iowa state fell to 11-11 overall and 3-6 in the Big Eight.
K-State 74
Colorado 56
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Norris Coleman and Mitch Richmond combined for 40 points as Kansas State overcame a sluggish start for a 74-56 victory over Colorado last night.
The Wildcats, now 6-3 in the conference and 16-6 overall, put the game out of reach with a 12-4 spurt after the Buffalooes came within nine points, 53-44, with 10 minutes remaining.
Coleman scored 21 points, 13 in the first half, and Richmond scored all but four of his 19 points after halftime. Richmond, a 6-foot-5 junior forward, scored 15 of the Wildcats' final 20 points.
Colorado, which trailed by as many as 24 points in the second half, was led by Scott Wilke with 19 points. Michael Lee added 15 for the Buffaloes, now 0-9 in the Big Eight and 6-16 overall.
Recruits sign with Big Eight
Valesente building program with prep players
United Press International
5 Oklahoma and Nebraska collected their usual stellar groups of football recruits yesterday as high school seniors signed letters of intent to play for Big Eight teams.
The majority of the schools in the conference attempted to fill holes created by injuries, graduation and, in some cases, National College Athletic Association sanctions.
It was the first day national letters of intent could be signed by prep players.
The Iowa State Cyclones tried to rebuild with a new coach under the heavy scrutiny of the NCAA. The NCAA hit the team with sanctions last year for recruiting violations under former coach Jim Criner.
Missouri signed players that Tiger coaches hoped would fit into the structure of the team. The Tigers have announced that they will switch to the wishbone next year
Kansas State and Kansas looked for new quarterbacks and linemen to bolster offenses. Colorado took all of its signeys from out of state.
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State bolstered their already

The KU football staff has taken a chance.
"I would always like to have a lot of four and five-year players in the program and continue to back each recruiting class up with new athletes." Valesente said. "Then we will have the team composition to challenge for a conference title."
Coach Bob Valesente's recruiting class so far consists of only three non-high school athletes.
Yesterday was the first day high school football players could sign letters of intent, and KU signed 22.
Valesente said he wanted to build a base of younger players that would make the team stronger in successive years.
"We have been realistic about the fact that we have a lot of veterans coming back to play next year." Valente said. "And it will be tough for newcomers to break into the lineup right away."
Valesente said he and his staff took this approach because there was not much room for junior college players. He added, "unless they were outstanding players."
Valesente said KU has awarded 28 of the 30 scholarships available, which means the Jayhawks are in good shape.
The signing period for high school
This is a list of newcomers to the Kansas football team. All players listed, except for three, are freshman and have either signed letters of intent or given verbal commitments. The three exceptions are Tim Adams, Clint Normore and Chris Nielson. Adams is a junior college transfer and Normore and Nielson transferred from the defunct Wichita State football program.

Opponents also had a size advantage over the Jayhawks. For example, Nebraska, which defeated KU 70-0, had an offensive line that averaged 265 pounds compared to KU's 250.
Seven offensive linemen signed with KU yesterday. All of them, except one, are freshmen and average 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds.
Valesente said his recruiting efforts were concentrated on signing offensive and defensive linemen and putting size and speed at these positions.
The Jayhawks also signed three quarterbacks yesterday, including Lawrence High School's all-state selection Lance Flachsbach. KU has only two returning quarterbacks next season, freshman Kelley Donohou and senior Mark Orth.
Valezene said he also was pleased to have Jim New, a senior wide receiver from Northbrook High School in Houston, as a new member of the team.
New, who is 6-5, 225 pounds, caught 48 passes last season and led the Texas Class 5A-District 17. He was an all-district selection and the most outstanding player in the district his senior season.
New is one of 11 out-of-state players signed by KU, three from Nebraska and Oklahoma, two from Oklahoma, and one from Missouri, Florida and Illinois.
